It was a big day today. My one month check up on my eye. I wanted to get a temporary prescription that would afford me some sort of normal sight in that eye. What I hadn’t counted on was that the stitches would cause a distortion that can only be described as a form of double vision in that one eye. It’s quite odd.
I refused to get upset about it, telling the technician and the medical student and the resident that I really thought the stitches had something to do with it. An eye topography was done and when I saw Dr. W. she confirmed that this was indeed the case.
She did prescribe a temporary prescription and that will help me to see a little better. I stopped at Wal-Mart and ordered the cheapest lenses for my glasses that I could. I can hardly wait for them to come in!
Hubby and I spoke at length with Dr. W. today and discovered that she speaks German! It turns out that she learned German in High School and then won a competition and spent 6 months in Germany! Part of the time she was in Nürnberg and the rest in West Berlin. So she and Hubby spoke a little in German! Needless to say, I told her about Greta and the dog show and the perspective puppies!
My stitches will remain in for a while longer. I am thinking it will be around Christmas before they come out. I told her that this was okay.
Everything in it’s time.
best saying i ever heard!
I hope the glasses help you! That’s cool that she knew German too.
I can honestly say that’s the longest time I have ever heard sutures staying in place. But then again, I know nothing about eyes!
I hope the glasses help.

Sounds like your never wanted to be just any ol’ eye…he wanted to be a kalidescope! Hope you can get him to ‘sharpen up’ before Santa arrives.
Good News? Before Christmas would be wonderful for you…I’m praying here
Hi Mom,
The pics of Greta and your weekend are wonderful! I like best the one of you and Greta in bed–you both look so peaceful.
I will give you a call on my way home tonight. Have a good day!
Love,
Mandy
You trust your doctor and that’s the best thing. No hurries!
I hope you don’t continue on having your double vision all the way up til Christmas! How irritating would that be?
Did I ever tell you I took German in highschool? (It was either that or Japanese and man I hated Jap) Ya, I did really well in it, came out in the top 90%.
I only a few words now (I think!) and what’s interesting is my Mum taught herself German when she was in her twenties as well. I think she speaks it better than I do.
